ASUS May Produce 1st Nexus Tablet
Among the speculation of who will be making the next Google Nexus phone (LG is looking good right now) in the lead up to the release of Android: Jellybean, some talk of an ASUS manufactured Nexus tablet has started to surface. It’d certainly be an interesting and understandable move for Google to get behind a flagship tablet in the hopes to show the market what its OS updates can do from the outset, much like with the Nexus smartphones, rather than waiting for manufacturers to distribute the updates themselves.
